| Life with the Speaker: 'We Have This Joke that ... I'm Really Like a Mental Health Counselor' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| If anyone was dreading the end of the Thanksgiving break, it had to be House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). The two-year veteran of Congress's most intense wars is walking back to the Capitol this week with the weight of the world - and all of American health care - on his shoulders. With just a couple of weeks to solve some of the country's biggest crises, Republican leaders are gearing up for a flurry of activity on everything from government funding to the Affordable Care Act. For the Louisianan, weathering these storms is just part of life now. Asked last week what his favorite D.C. political drama is, Johnson smiled and said, "I don't really watch them - I have enough of it here." |

| Report Warns Critical Race Theory Could Be Worming Its Way Back into Classrooms |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Is critical race theory (CRT) making a comeback in classrooms? Banned in several red states, CRT is often described by those holding more progressive worldviews as an academic framework meant to examine "systemic racism." Critics, however, would classify it as an ideological agenda that promotes racism - hence why many Republican-led states have taken steps to keep it out of their school curricula. Yet, a new report from the conservative Foundation for Freedom Online (FF) warns that CRT is quietly sneaking its way back in through the "media literacy" campaign. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| As American families gathered around the table on Thanksgiving Day, hungry for turkey and pumpkin pie, President Donald Trump made a lengthy announcement via social media, detailing a renewed "America first" approach to immigration policy. "A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at ... for being 'Politically Correct,' and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration," the president began. |

| Yosvany and the Metal: 40 Days of a Hunger Strike by a Cuban Political Prisoner |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| Yosvany Rosell Garcia worked as a blacksmith for years. He guided the metal through machinery that shaped it, melted it with a blowtorch, rolled it, and riveted it until the shape in his mind translated into the form of the metal. He is a simple man whose happiness lies in his three children and his wife, Mailin Sanchez. Arrested for joining the protests of many crying "Freedom!" in Cuba, Yosvany is now behind the bars of the El Yayal prison, where he is on a four-week hunger strike. |

| Globally, Christians face an unprecedented surge in persecution. Over the last decade, violence and oppression targeting Christians have reached heights not seen in recent history.
